Rex Ryan to the Bears??? There's one huge Chicago guy who likes the idea -- Common -- who tells TMZ Sports it would be "dope" if the former NY Jets coach blew into the Windy City. Sure, he was ran outta NY, but Common says Rex could be a perfect fit in Chicago ... where Bears chairman George McCaskey just ousted the previous head coach Marc Trestman. So, why does the "Hell On Wheels" star like Ryan so much?...

First-year Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman figures what better way to inspire his team than to invite back one of its all-time greats -- former Bears player and head coach Mike Ditka.
"It was hard standing up for two hours when I'm used to sitting on a [golf] cart," jokes Ditka to Espn, on his return to Halas Hall practice field this week.
"I thought it was a great place to start, somebody who knew as much about the Bears and the tradition of the Bears as he does," says Trestman. "The idea ... was to bring him by and see Halas Hall and the new facility and spend some time with our players and say hello to them. He graciously agreed to do that and we certainly appreciate the fact that he came out here today to be with us."
What is Ditka's advice for the current team? They have to work together.
